Increased Security in Juchit\u00e1n de Zaragoza, Oaxaca<\/h2>\n

In a significant move aimed at restoring order in the region, elements of the \u00a0Armed Forces\u00a0 have taken control of security operations in the municipality of \u00a0Juchit\u00e1n de Zaragoza, Oaxaca\u00a0. This measure comes in response to escalated violence from a criminal cell reacting to recent law enforcement actions.<\/p>\n

A \u00a0mega security operation\u00a0, which consists of over 1,000 personnel from the \u00a0Secretariat of the Navy\u00a0 (Semar), the \u00a0National Defense\u00a0 (Sedena), and the \u00a0National Guard\u00a0 (GN), has successfully assumed control of both the \u00a0Municipal Police\u00a0 and the \u00a0Control and Command Center (C2)\u00a0 in Juchit\u00e1n de Zaragoza, located within the \u00a0Istmo de Tehuantepec\u00a0 region.<\/p>\n

The \u00a0Oaxaca State Attorney General’s Office\u00a0 (FGEO), in partnership with the \u00a0State Investigation Agency\u00a0 (AEI), and other federal authorities, has implemented this expansive operation in response to the municipality’s growing delinquency rates. The area is categorized as a \u00a0priority zone\u00a0 by state authorities due to its high incidence of crime.<\/p>\n

Hello to Increased Violence Amidst Law Enforcement Pressure<\/h2>\n

According to local prosecutorial statements, this joint action signifies an institutional response aimed at curbing the \u00a0violent acts\u00a0 that have surged following recent arrests targeting organized crime groups. Juchit\u00e1n de Zaragoza is identified as a \u00a0red flag area\u00a0, facing serious criminal activities such as \u00a0extortion, homicides, kidnapping, and racketeering\u00a0.<\/p>\n

As part of the operation, the \u00a0Oaxaca Attorney’s Office\u00a0 has begun inspecting the facilities of the \u00a0Municipal Police\u00a0 in Juchit\u00e1n de Zaragoza. This step ensures that the local police force adheres to the necessary standards of trust and professionalism crucial for effective operation. The \u00a0Trust Evaluation and Control Center\u00a0 of the \u00a0Executive Secretariat of the State Public Security System\u00a0 has issued letters to municipal police officers, requiring them to undergo evaluations to determine their trustworthiness.<\/p>\n

In light of the security concerns, law enforcement has set up \u00a0dispersive patrols\u00a0 and established \u00a0security checkpoints\u00a0 at various entrances and exits of Juchit\u00e1n de Zaragoza.<\/p>\n

The Rise of \u201cComandante Cromo\u201d and Recent Incidents<\/h2>\n

Reports indicate that the violent reactions over the past few weeks can be traced back to a criminal cell known as \u201c\u00a0Comandante Cromo\u00a0,\u201d which allegedly operates under the affiliation of the \u00a0Sinaloa Cartel\u00a0.<\/p>\n

This week, the Oaxaca ministerial authority announced the arrest of four hitmen involved in setting fire to convenience stores in Juchit\u00e1n. The incidents occurred on June 16, targeting two branches of the \u00a0OXXO\u00a0 convenience store chain, one located at the corner of \u00a0Abasolo\u00a0 and \u00a0Rosendo Pineda\u00a0, with another on \u00a0Sa\u00fal Mart\u00ednez\u00a0 in the \u00a0Octava Secci\u00f3n\u00a0.<\/p>\n

The arrested individuals have been identified as \u00a0N.J.J.C., \u201cChico Bala\u201d; J.A.S.S., \u201cChuy\u201d; B.A.C.S., \u201cPapaya\u201d; and C.E.BC., \u201cCachorro.\u201d\u00a0 These suspects are reportedly linked to Comandante Cromo’s cell, further intensifying concerns about the security situation in the region.<\/p>\n

Connections to Extortion and Threats<\/h2>\n

Investigative work by the authorities has revealed that these four individuals might also be behind a series of \u00a0threats for extortion\u00a0 made via phone calls targeting various sectors in Juchit\u00e1n, as well as in other municipalities within the area. Images released by the \u00a0Oaxaca Attorney\u2019s Office\u00a0 corroborate testimonies, depicting three suspects entering one of the burned-down stores.<\/p>\n

The images display the men wearing hats and face masks; two of them were armed with handguns, and one carried two containers with a flammable liquid presumed to be used for the fires. Notably, two suspects were seen wearing caps marked with the initials \u00a0C.D.S.\u00a0, referencing the \u00a0Sinaloa Cartel\u00a0 known to have a significant presence in the region.<\/p>\n

In light of these critical interventions, the implications for public safety and efforts to combat organized crime in the area remain paramount. The ongoing collaboration between local and federal authorities not only aims to restore peace but also seeks to dismantle the existing criminal networks that have wreaked havoc in Juchit\u00e1n de Zaragoza and its surroundings. As law enforcement intensifies its strategies, the local population is urged to remain vigilant and supportive of measures designed to ensure their safety and security in this tumultuous environment.<\/p>\n
